Summary: The proposed project would include adding 2.26 acres of pond area to the existing system bringing the total acreage of treatment cells to 4.33 acres of pond surface area. The new third treatment cell would be located to the west of the existing ponds. The project also includes installing a new piping system to convey wastewater between ponds and to discharge the effluent. The difference in elevation of the ponds would allow the piping system to be operated entirely through gravity resulting in a savings in long-term operational costs. A storm sewer would be required to convey surface water around the ponds.
